July 10 (Reuters) - Walmart ( WMT ) said on Thursday it

has recalled its Ozark Trail water bottles following reports of

three injuries caused by the product.

The company recalled about 850,000 bottles over risk of the

lid forcefully ejecting when consumers try to open the product

after storing food or beverages for a long period, the U.S.

Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a separate statement.

There were three reported cases of such incidents, of which

two individuals suffered permanent vision loss after being hit

in the eye, according to the agency.

Walmart ( WMT ) said it has fully cooperated with CPSC and the

manufacturer of stainless steel bottles, sold for about $15,

will remove the affected item from stores and inform consumers

of the recall as well.
